The Last Sands Ranch is a 5500 acre ranch in the semi-arid Dry Mixedgrass Sub-Region southeast of Warner, Alberta. In November 1999 the Audet's were named winners of the Alberta Environmental Stewardship Award by the Alberta Cattle Commission and in August 2000 the couple were named the best environmental stewards in Canada by the Canadian Cattlemen's Association. Roy recounts the challenges they faced in converting from a mixed grain farm to strictly cattle, describing how some grain fields were planted to tame pasture for hay and spring grazing. Their native pasture has improved, and they now run more cattle with less expense.
